Another bucket list item ticked off!

So at the age of 65 l got to buy myself a Triumph motorcycle, & now at the age of 66 l bought my 1st ever "lil Red Corvette!"
Initially l wondered what all the fuss was about, (other than drooling over the pristine 20yr old paintwork!) until l got "the feel" for the car!
Wow, fastest & best looking car l've ever had (& l've owned MGB's & a Porsche 911 back in the UK) & it actually makes ME look more handsome......LOL!

Anyway, l live in deepest darkest Missouri in the showtown of Branson & have access to some of the best roads (surfaces & scenery) that l've ever encountered after living in Vegas for a while (too busy, too aggressive, roads are too straight) & Springfield MO (uglu city full of ugly people & ugly traffic) so l could be in Old Farts' Heaven here?!?!
